ABSTRACT
The spectral characteristics for non-AR coated fiber grating lasers were studied theoretically and experimentally. The lensed fiber was used to improve coupling efficiency between laser and fiber. The tapered fibers were fabricated by using the mixture of HF and oil with different density to increase etched taper angle. The coupling efficiency could reach more than 60%. A single-mode operation for a fiber grating external cavity laser (FGECL) was simulated. The results showed that the SMSR, emitted power, and wavelength drift were dependent on the related device parameters. Our calculations showed that the strong current-dependent SMSR oscillation was from the mode selection by the fiber grating external cavity and the heating effect in the Fabry-Perot (FP) laser. A 1.55mm FP laser chip that one facet was coated a high reflectivity (HR) of 90% and another facet was uncoated. In our experiment and simulation of FGECL, the reflectivity of fiber gratings were 50% and 70% and 86%, and the length of external cavity was about 0.9cm. The measured result of FGECL showed that the side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) was more than 35dB and the output power was larger than 1.5mW at the injected current 2 to 3 times of threshold current. Furthermore, the spectrums of fiber grating external cavity lasers were studied in order to understand the external laser characteristics.
